Get ready for some tree-root-technical fun! You'll navigate through lots of tight spaces in the forest here, and may even find yourself having to do a little bit of wayfinding. Travel is allowed in both directions, so keep an eye out for your fellow bikers as well.

Running

This is technically a windy, rooty mountain bike trail, but trail runners tend to love this area as well. Travel is allowed in both directions, and bikers are usually so busy dealing with the trail's twists and turns that they don't get going fast enough to present a real hazard, as long as everybody watches out for other trail users.
